A Comparison of his mistresse, with a brave Lady of Russia
Fayre is thy face, and louely are thy lookes,
Rich be thy robes, and geason to be had,
White are thine eares, hangde full of filuer hookes,
Braue be thy bootes, thy body costly clad,
With Sable, Sube, thy necke beset with pearle,
Thy brodred gyte makes thee a gallant gyrle.
The Russies rude doe deeme right wel of thee,
Mine English eye no paynted image leekes,
I haue a frend that wel contenteth me,
With kindly shape and kindly coloured cheekes,
Such one she is, as I wil here declare,
Fewe are her peeres, I finde her matches rare
Her heare is golden wyer, her shineng eyes
Two Dyamondes that glister passing bright,
Amids her lylye cheekes, the Rubie lyes,
Her teeth of pearle, lippes louely red and white,
All other limmes doe aunswere well the same,
Now iudge of both which is the brauer dame,
La mia donna
bella è buona.
